Accepted Projects

This page links to more information on the projects accepted for ns-3's 2010 Google Summer of Code effort.

UAN Framework: AUV simulator and power management layer

• Student: Andrea Sacco
• Mentor: Leonard Tracy
• Abstract: One of the priorities in Underwater Networking research, is to have a complete simulation framework. The NS-3 UAN module is a first step in this direction. This project aims to integrate the efforts of UAN module, extending it to make a simulation framework that researchers will be able to use for their aims. The extension will consists of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) simulator (navigation and movement) and a power management layer.

• Merged for ns-3.10 in changeset ba60c821ad35 (energy models)

ns-3-OpenFlow

• Student: Blake Hurd
• Mentor: Josh Pelkey
• Abstract: This project will enable ns-3 simulations to use OpenFlow switches (McKeown et al.), widely used in research. OpenFlow switches are configurable via the OpenFlow API, and also have an MPLS extension for quality-of-service and service-level-agreement support. By extending these capabilities to ns-3 for a simulated OpenFlow switch that is both configurable and can use the MPLS extension, ns-3 simulations can accurately simulate many different switches

MAC and PHY models for LTE

• Student: Giuseppe Piro
• Mentors: Nicola Baldo
• Abstract: Long Term Evolution represents an emerging and promising technology for providing a broadband ubiquitous Internet access.

Unfortunately, no ns-3 modules have been developed to simulate LTE networks. This project consist of a development of a framework to simulate LTE networks on ns-3, composed by (i) a standard compliant LTE PHY layer, (ii) two LTE network devices (UE and eNB), (iii) a Bearer Manager and a MAC Queue structure, and (iv) a Frame Manager and a Downlink Resource Allocation.

NS-3 Click Modular Router Integration

• Student: Lalith Suresh Puthalath
• Mentor: Ruben Merz
• Abstract: Click is a software architecture for building configurable routers. By using different combinations of packet processing units called elements, a Click router can be made to perform a specific kind of functionality. This flexibility provides a good platform for testing and experimenting with different protocols. This project aims to integrate ns-3 with the Click Modular Router so as to enable rapid protocol development.
